DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[omahen]

If we are counting on much from anyone taken at 18, then we are just dreaming.

My personal preference would be to trade the pick anyway. But if not, I still prefer someone who is ready to play minutes now than someone who might be ready to play minutes in 2 years. 

Perhaps I am too subjective, because I just don't see Poku as anything special. He is too far away for my taste and comfort, based on the information available.

Wright would presumably bring back an NBA player

that would be a meh player imho. Shorter contract usually means worse player.

Here is a poor mans idea. It doesn't really help our flexibility, but improves our rotation. 

Wright+Jackson+#31 for Exum and Osman.

Cleveland saves a little bit of money and gets a pick. Osman is a solid rotation wing on a decent contract. I was really impressed with Exums defense 3 years ago against Houston, but he just can't stay healthy. Will he be able to put it together once? Or perhaps it was just a couple of good games by chance, because his stats don't really prove he is a good defender? Showed some promise from 3 last season.
